MPs’ expenses: New expenses body could be scrapped, Downing Street admits

Since the authority's introduction in May, many MPs complained bitterly at having to abide by its tough new strictures – which were approved by the Commons following the expenses scandal.

Aaah, poor things.

They just don't get it do they?

Being an MP is not about making money. If you don't like that fact - then quit.

doesnt look that way to me nick. look at MEP's. whats good for the goose as they say.

I don't think many of those at Westminster were ever serious about this issue.

Why should they be - rules made in-house, toothless regulators and a stupefied electorate more intent on watching television, drinking, texting or chewing the fat on FaceBook all conspire to allow them to behave as they please.

And some suggest that basic institutions and day to day activities of the citizens this nation aren't broken and cause for concern?

It's a oppsing shame.  The country has been oppsed over by the indolent masses and spiv legislators.

And to think I nearly quit my current job to go work for their IT dept... that would have been a very short career

Somebody's got to get some funds for the Armed forces out of the govt. Might as well be you.

Please!  Dont mention reporters to me, had enough of them buggers recently 

They only pretend to be supportive of the military, give them half a chance and they would roger us dry with a sandpaper condom

While spending billions buying the wrong stuff or buying stuff with appallingly worded contracts.

That p!sses me off as well, esp the IT contracts.  Some of the stuff in there would make your eyes pop out in disbelief, alas i can say no more here.  I was talking about the media though, not my best friend right now

I am well pissed off with them at the moment.

My favourite military aircraft has been retired.

My favourite airliner got it about 10 years ago
